After quiting my job as a corporate lawyer, I travelled for 5 months through East Asia (Japan, China, Korea & Taiwan). When I came back, I joined the founding team of art/tech startup Patty Morgan: an online art platform connecting young, talented artists and art enthusiasts!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people and exchanging views/culture is the best thing about travelling and couch surfing seems to be a good way to combine these two. It adds an amazing local touch to my trip.

Interests

News (I actually love to read newspapers), contemporary art, yoga, meditation and art house movies. Furthermore I organise living room concerts with upcoming bands in Amsterdam (check YouTube and Facebook: Sofar (Sounds) Amsterdam)

Teach, Learn, Share

Emptiness which is conceptually liable to be mistaken for sheer nothingness is in fact the reservoir of infinite possibilities (D.T. Suzuki)

Stay hungry. Stay foolish.

Only party with the best!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Apart from the languages I speak, I can teach some meditation basics and I love to talk about anything happening in the world.
